    According to our partners at the Bay Area News Group, prosecutors say Roberts dodged several domestic violence complaints before killing Buckner in their apartment in Pleasanton.

    Roberts' attorneys claimed there wasn't enough physical evidence or witnesses tying him to the murder.

    Roberts faces 15 years to life in prison.
